Hey there
Your nutritionist and health reversal specialist here, with 16 years of experience in turning frowns upside down (and tummies too!).
Tired of hearing whispers of “prostate issues” and feeling like you’re on borrowed time? Well, I’m here to tell you, you have more control than you think!
Where is the prostate?
- It’s located below the bladder and surrounds the urethra, the tube that carries urine and semen out of the body.
What does it do?
- It is a small gland in men that produces semen.

- Pain in the lower back or abdomen
- Blood in your urine
- Fever, chills, or pain when emptying your bladder
What other symptoms should you watch out for?
Urinary Problems:
Frequent urination, especially at night (nocturia)
Difficulty starting or stopping urination
Weak or interrupted urine flow
Bladder hasn’t emptied completely
Blood in the urine (hematuria)
Pain or burning during urination

Blood in the semen
Other Potential Symptoms:

Prostate cancer doesn’t have to be a death sentence. In fact, many cases can be REVERSED with the right approach. Forget the fear-mongering and embrace the POWER OF PREVENTION (and a little bit of spice!).
Here’s the secret sauce:
- Ditch the processed junk: Say goodbye to sugary drinks, fast food, and those sneaky processed snacks. Your prostate will thank you!
- Embrace the plant-based power: Load up on those vibrant veggies, fruits, and whole grains. Think leafy greens, berries, and colourful cruciferous veggies like broccoli and cauliflower.
- Spice things up! Literally! Add some heat to your meals with turmeric, ginger, and garlic. These powerful spices have anti-inflammatory properties that can support prostate health.
- Nourish your body: Don’t forget those essential nutrients!
- Vitamin D: Get some sunshine (or supplement wisely) for optimal vitamin D levels.
- Omega-3s: Fatty fish like salmon and mackerel are your friends.
- Lycopene: This antioxidant powerhouse is found in abundance in tomatoes (think tomato sauce, home made and fresh).
- Move your magnificent body: Regular exercise, whether it’s a brisk walk or a trip to the gym, can make a world of difference.
Remember: This isn’t just about avoiding the dreaded “D word” (doctor’s visit!). It’s about living a vibrant, fulfilling life, full of energy and vitality.
So, ditch the fear and embrace the power of prevention and personalised nutrition. Your prostate will thank you, and you’ll feel like a million bucks.
Now go forth and conquer! 💪
